The Grade: I give this one an A+. Wow! This "kitchen sink" blend of so many varietals, even Zinfandel which isn't as common in blended wines, really works. At under $20 this wine is a great value and one that I will buy again...soon. Enjoy the circus of wine!
Hi Jim,
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear you enjoyed our Cirque du Vin! We've been making the Cirque for years... Originally it went by a different name, Jester, but another winery decided they wanted to make a wine by that name, so we switched. Personally, I love the name "circus of wine," because our life here in Paso is pretty much that!
